Sorry to have to ask such a dumb question, but I can't seem to set the route from shunt signal No.1 to shunt signal No.5 for 6B30 to get to the Sandy Down Siding. Perhaps someone can tell me what I'm not doing. Bound to be something easy, so apologies in advance. Save attached  Post has attachments. Log in to view them.

You can skip signal 5 and set the route straight from signal 1 into the siding. (Though I do agree that this is not intuitive and deserves being mentioned in the wiki.) AJP in games Last edited: 08/06/2020 at 21:59 by Albert Reason: None given Log in to reply |

My understanding is that anybody can add information to the Wiki. If so, I think that I will add a note to that effect. Everything that you make will be useful - providing it's made of chocolate.

Anybody can, except for the sim manuals which are locked. There's a forum category where one can reach out to those with edit permissions.

There is a section on Ground Frames with a sub-section on Sandy. Perhaps a note should be added there, Which of course I can't do as the manuals are locked.You can skip signal 5 and set the route straight from signal 1 into the siding.Thank you for your swift response.

Panel photos make it clear that 5 is a route start signal only; you wouldn't want a train to be signalled up to it over the crossover and sit blocking two or three tracks. I presume it's there to allow trains to shunt out towards the LOS on the Down Slow and then back in. Last edited: 09/06/2020 at 22:54 by clive Reason: None given Log in to reply |
